Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Many clients and families with addiction need training in communication skills. Verbal and nonverbal communication training is a vital independent nursing action. Cultural norms must be carefully considered prior to implementing assertiveness training. Milieu therapy and family therapy are interventions involving collaboration with therapists.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

In a trusting relationship, the nurse will complete a crisis assessment to determine the appropriate action. Contacting the campus nurse is not advised without the student's permission. There is no evidence that the student is driving under the influence.
